Points clés à retenir
Remittances are crucial to many African economies, significantly contributing to their GDP. The total value of remittances in Africa reached nearly $100 billion, with $20 billion being intra-Africa flows. Despite their importance, the cost of sending money to Africa remains high, averaging 7.39% in Q3 2023 to send $200, above the global average. Factors contributing to these high costs include limited competition, regulatory barriers, and underdeveloped financial infrastructure. Those gaps are what startups like Africhange and more are looking to address. The formal African remittance market, valued at $100 billion in 2022, could potentially reach $283 billion by 2035, with the total Sub-Saharan remittance market possibly hitting $500 billion.
